GST reforms could offer relief, but affordability crisis deepens in housing market: ANAROCK
India's affordable housing segment is facing an acute crunch as spiraling construction costs eat into already thin developer margins, leading to a steep decline in supply and sales share. ADVERTISEMENT According to industry data, the cost of constructing residential projects has risen by 40% over the last five years, with a particularly sharp 27.3% increase between October 2021 and October 2024. As a result, affordable housing's share of overall supply has dropped from 40% in 2019 to just 12% in H1 2025, while its sales share has shrunk from 38% to 18% over the same period (ANAROCK Research). Rising input costs: Breaking down the pressure pointsThe biggest drivers of cost escalation are labour and raw materials. Labour wages alone have risen 150% since 2019, including a sharp 25% jump in just the past prices of steel and cement have risen between 30–57% over five years, while copper and aluminium have seen even steeper increases — copper prices surged 91% between 2019 and 2024. ADVERTISEMENT Other cost pressures stem from regulatory approvals, compliance, logistics, and higher fuel prices, further straining developer budgets. Unlock 500+ Stock Recos on App ADVERTISEMENT The surge in input costs is reflected across cities, with construction expenses for affordable housing now ranging from Rs 1,500–2,500 per sq. ft in Kolkata to as high as Rs 2,500–4,500 per sq. ft in projects, by contrast, easily cross Rs 5,000 per sq. ft in metros, given higher finishes and premium materials. ADVERTISEMENT Mumbai: Affordable – Rs 2,500–4,500 / Luxury – Rs 5,000+ Affordable – Rs 2,500–4,500 / Luxury – Rs 5,000+ Delhi NCR: Affordable – Rs 2,000–3,500 / Luxury – Rs 4,500+ Affordable – Rs 2,000–3,500 / Luxury – Rs 4,500+ Bengaluru: Affordable – Rs 1,800–3,200 / Luxury – Rs 4,500+ Affordable – Rs 1,800–3,200 / Luxury – Rs 4,500+ Chennai: Affordable – Rs 1,700–2,800 / Luxury – Rs 4,200+ Affordable – Rs 1,700–2,800 / Luxury – Rs 4,200+ Hyderabad: Affordable – Rs 1,600–2,700 / Luxury – Rs 4,000+ Affordable – Rs 1,600–2,700 / Luxury – Rs 4,000+ Pune: Affordable – Rs 1,800–3,000 / Luxury – Rs 4,500+ Affordable – Rs 1,800–3,000 / Luxury – Rs 4,500+ Kolkata: Affordable – Rs 1,500–2,500 / Luxury – Rs 4,000+ The cost hikes are squeezing affordable housing developers the hardest. Unlike luxury and mid-segment projects, where developers can pass on higher costs to buyers, affordable housing buyers are extremely an increase of Rs 500–800 per sq. ft can raise unit prices by Rs 5–8 lakh, effectively pushing homes out of reach for large sections of the middle- and lower-income population. ADVERTISEMENT Smaller developers, who primarily operate in the affordable segment, are increasingly delaying or cutting back launches. Larger and branded developers, with greater margins in mid- and luxury projects, are better positioned to absorb the risk of tariff hikes on imported construction materials such as steel, aluminium, cement, and finishing equipment could push costs up further.A 25% tariff could increase project costs by 1.5–2.5%. A 50% tariff could escalate costs by 5% or more, with ripple effects across supply hikes would disproportionately impact luxury and commercial projects that rely on imported materials, while further worsening affordability in lower government's proposed GST restructuring could partially offset cost pressures. Key changes include reducing GST on cement from 28% to 18% and rationalizing tax slabs to just 5% and 18%. This could lower input costs for developers and modestly ease housing prices:Affordable housing: Prices could fall by 2–4% if ITC (input tax credit) is housing: Prices could drop 2–3% if GST is cut from 5% to 3%.Luxury housing: Minimal impact, as high-end items may still face steep housing, once the backbone of India's housing policy, is now at risk of slipping further behind. The twin pressures of rising construction costs and reduced affordability have led developers to focus more on mid-range and luxury policy interventions — including tariff moderation, GST reforms, and incentives for affordable housing — are implemented, the segment could face an extended slowdown, reducing homeownership accessibility for millions of Indians.

Is Rs 4 crore enough for retirement corpus? Gurmeet Chadha gives simple calculation metric
How much money does one really need to achieve financial independence—Rs 5 crore, Rs 10 crore, or Rs 20 crore? This is a question that often lingers in the minds of individuals planning their retirement. ADVERTISEMENT Market expert Gurmeet Chadha, Managing Partner & CIO at Complete Circle, offered a straightforward calculation to help people arrive at the "right amount" needed for their retirement corpus. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Chadha addressed the dilemma by linking financial independence directly to current lifestyle costs. 'The right amount is the derivative of current monthly expenditure, which has stepped up 5% every year,' he wrote. Chadha explained that the benchmark lies in ensuring that a portfolio's returns are sufficient to cover monthly expenses. According to him, 'If 6% of your portfolio can match your monthly expenditure – that's the right amount.'To illustrate, Chadha shared an example: 'If your monthly expense is 2 lac rupee.. then 4 cr+ is your retirement corpus.. (6% of 4 cr is 24 lacs annually/ 2 lac monthly).'The seasoned financial advisor highlighted that a clear understanding of one's expenses forms the basis of calculating financial freedom. 'Calculate your expenses – that's the starting point… be liberal while doing the maths,' he advised, underscoring the importance of being realistic and slightly generous in estimating future costs to avoid shortfalls. ADVERTISEMENT In his post, Chadha also touched upon a broader reflection from one of his clients who observed how wealth accumulation often outpaces the ability to enjoy it. 'We end up earning/making far more than we and our children can spend on forgetting how to live,' the client remarked, a thought Chadha echoed in his discussion on financial independence. Unlock 500+ Stock Recos on App By laying down a simple formula, tying monthly expenses to corpus size via portfolio returns, Chadha has provided an accessible framework for individuals grappling with the complex question of 'how much is enough' for retirement.
